Pet Peeve
I once had an
Airedale named
Peeve.
(or, she kept a human
named John)
she was a
splendid pet
I sometimes
called Steve.
forgiving me
that tremor
of the mind,
Peeve came
whenever a best friend
i needed to find.
she offered me,
as all dogs must,
unyielding loyalty,
bottomless love,
and
unbreakable trust.
